Newton Aycliffe C.S Open Show - 20th april 2012

20/4/2012

Bulldogs
This was my fourth breed appointment of the year, and currently the most northern! Thank you to all the exhibitors that attended, also the Northumberland & Durham Bulldog Club for supporting the entry and finally the show’s officers, committee and stewards for hosting such a ‘busy’ and successful show. I would like to take this opportunity to remind exhibitors of the Kennel Club Code of Conduct and highlight that contacting judges before a show they are due to judge, asking for their opinion of entered dogs is not acceptable behaviour. You enter under a judge, as does anyone else, to find their opinion of your dog and their merit within the competition on the day of the show, not before!

Puppy (3,0)

Robertson & Ferguson’s Melafella the Pacman, 11mth r/w dog that’s up to size but not overdone. Classic broad flat skull with lovely width of foreface and correct layback. Dark clear eyes and correct ear setting and shape. Strong bone and good rib providing a powerful front and shapely body. Walked well throughout and to his width on the return. Clinched BOB due to his clean outline and ring presence. Stayed and represented the breed in the groups but unfortunately not rewarded this time. BOB & BP.
Shawn & Wright’s Melafella Pinup Girl at Tailored, litter sister to 1st. Standard size r/w compact and cobby bitch. Fine wrinkle with broken nose roll and good true jaw. Sufficient bone to tight feet.
Soutar & Blane’s Melafella the Knockout

Special Yearling (8,2) Strongest class of the day.

Robinson’s Belgicshako Ed Hardy, Fawn brindle very similar to my BOB in size, body shape and movement. Best jaw of the class, on a well worked skull with broken noseroll, over a good nose with open nostrils. Well boned with compact paws and super short nails. Well sprung barrel rib and correct topline, finished with a suitable length of tail. RBOB
Livingston’s Allgas Rio Guerrier, R/W dog that seemed a handful for his handler! Well developed in head, with a square skull and well pigmented eyes and big nose and nostrils. Sufficient bone to tight paws with short nails. Short bodied that was sufficiently ribbed and moved well.
Delaney’s Makeamemory Top Brass at Bullomine

Post Graduate (4,1)

Baillie’s Bishiebull Northern Angel, tidy R/W bitch. I particularly liked her feminine expression. Well padded foreface on a classic skull. Correct ear shape and set. Low slung with masses of chest room, barrel rib and well let down brisket. Ok topline finished with good tail and well let down hocks.
Ferguson’s Bulldovie’s Ice Queen, R/W pied different type to 1st. Broad flat skull with width throughout, well rounded cheeks and clear dark eyes. Well boned on a square front, good length of neck leading to a good topline that was held on the move and finished with a good length of tail.
Brewer’s Satans Son

Open (3,1)

Robertson & Ferguson’s Pawsabull Strike a Pose by Melafella, classic well built 4yr old r/w that stood well. A bitch that balanced femininity and breed type. Plain flat skull with well fitted and clear eye. Well developed chest and boned forelegs. Moved ok but would benefit from loosing abit of weight. BOS
Baillie’s Bishiebull Angel Delight, different type to 1. Upstanding clean standard sized r/w bitch that moved extremely well. Well wrinkled head, super straight front on a short coupled and compact body. For me just lacked some curves in body and topline.
